    I’m also a fan of aquariums but do have to agree with Tom — you can’t like everywhere you visit. Of course on the plus side at least you got to enjoy penguin lunch time 😉 That preserved giant squid also sounds rather interesting; never seen anything like that during any of my aquarium visits.

      For some reason Akismet marked your comment as spam! Glad I found it in the folder.

      Yes, you and I both know well about not liking every place we visit, no? LOL I just hate it when a place leaves me so vastly underwhelmed that even with digging I can’t find much nice to say about it. C’est la vie.

      The giant squid was a cool part. I had never seen one, so that was cool. And the penguins were great. You could really see their personalities. But had I paid admission, I would’ve been really pissed after my visit.

    You can’t like everywhere you visit. I remember visiting the aquarium in Atlanta, Georgia, and loving it. The one in Seoul’s 63 Building? A total bore, and it had been a while since I’d been to an aquarium.

    Great that you’re honest with your review. I suspect that a family with young kids might have enjoyed it more than you. I didn’t give a glowing review of the CNN Studio Tour in Atlanta. It was, to be frank, crap.

      Definitely better for younger kids. For older kids it’s too much of a snoozefest.

    Aquariums are such hit and miss attractions. I’ve been to some that are amazing and others that are no different than walking into the fish section of a pet store.

    I know it’s hard to give negative reviews, but you clearly stated that you are both advanced divers (surely your expectations would be higher than those who haven’t seen the greatness of the underwater world first hand). Now would the average stay-at-home mom from the area who’s just looking to take her kids out for the day have the same opinion as you? Probably not… And quite frankly, you don’t need to like everywhere you go, even if they give you comped admission. You’re entitled to your opinion as much as the next person.

    I applaud you for your honesty!

      I don’t think it really made a difference being divers. We really liked the aquarium in KL. I think it’s just this place was mediocre at best.

      I think someone with younger children would get more out of it. It would be better for young kids.
